September 2019 – one of the recently completed Glasgow City Region City Deal projects


Glasgow City Region continues transformation


THE Glasgow City Region Cabinet has announced significant progress in the work underway to transform the Regional economy, including in the delivery of the UK and Scottish Government funded £1.13 billion City Deal – one of the largest and most advanced in the UK. Since the deal was agreed with


government in August 2014, local businesses have benefitted from a £33 million boost - the value of City Deal contracts won to date by companies across the Region. Construction work is under way and the


three completed employment and skills projects have created thousands of new jobs, including for those furthest away from the


jobs market and for young people. Three innovation and business growth projects, now up and running, are also creating jobs, supporting local businesses and have already generated over £10 million in private sector investment. All 27 high level projects have been


selected, most of which are underway and a number are already completed. Fifteen overall projects were completed by the end of October.


Projects that have completed so far are Medicity, Tontine, Cathkin Relief Road, Glasgow University Imaging Centre of Excellence, Youth Gateway, Working Matters and In Work Progression.


prams new life FIFTY prams abandoned at St. Enoch Centre have been given a new lease of life by Repair Café to help refugees and disadvantaged families across Glasgow. The collaboration was launched last summer when the centre noticed a number of prams left on the premises and in the surrounding area.

Warriors and First Glasgow give rugby fans the advantage with new travel deal


FIRST Glasgow has agreed a new deal to extend its on-going partnership with professional rugby union team, the Glasgow Warriors, for the upcoming season. The new deal, which


continues the current offering where Glasgow’s largest bus operator provides free


matchday travel for Warriors fans’ to and from Scotstoun Stadium, now also includes further incentives for fans with every bonus point home win.

supported by the Climate Challenge Fund, is working towards a target of saving 2200kgs from landfill before March 2020. Due to the weight of the prams, the St. Enoch Centre collaboration has helped the charity reach 70% of the target, while allowing the team to develop the initiative and grow the project. The initiative is the latest in the St. Enoch Centre’s move towards a circular model where it looks to repurpose waste. Ongoing projects include its coffee grounds to compost initiative, adding nutrients to the compost used within the plants throughout the mall, and an art competition with local schools encouraging young people to think of circular ideas for retailers. Customers and members of the public can donate unwanted prams to St. Enoch Centre’s customer service desk.


First Glasgow will provide free matchday travel for Warriors fans’ to and from Scotstoun Stadium
